Personal

My family and I have lived in Minneapolis since completing my medical training in my native California. My lovely wife and I are blessed with two sons and two daughters who keep us plenty busy. I enjoy spending family time at our cabin, learning spoken Chinese and keeping up with technology. For the record – I do not play golf.
